Lolcats thoughts

If you have not seen this lj entry http://lolcats.livejournal.com/231696.html.

First clip: Good thing the attack was front the back. Maybe the guy shouldn't be trying to change the channel to something that the cat didn't like??? Human minions don't get to do that. But you love it when your boyfriend does that.

Second clip: *grins* The eyes at the end. Blank stare of why did you stop?, Mint?! I wanted the catnip flavor, Why do you do this tooth brushing thing again??

A Matter of Nettles -

Nettles - Urtica dioica, often called common nettle or stinging nettle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urtica_dioica

Food
Urtica dioica has a flavour similar to spinach and cucumber when cooked and is rich in vitamins A, C, iron, potassium, manganese, and calcium. Young plants were harvested by Native Americans and used as a cooked plant in spring when other food plants were scarce. Soaking stinging nettles in water or cooking will remove the stinging chemicals from the plant, which allows them to be handled and eaten without injury. After the stinging nettle enters its flowering and seed setting stages the leaves develop gritty particles called cystoliths, which can irritate the urinary tract. In its peak season, nettle contains up to 25% protein, dry weight, which is high for a leafy green vegetable. The leaves are also dried and may then be used to make a herbal tea, as can also be done with the nettle's flowers.

The young leaves are edible and make a very good leaf vegetable, as with the purée shown in the above image. ( Read more... )

He sat. He watched. He waited. He groomed his paws, he flicked his whiskers. He sat. He watched. He waited.

It was good at this new home. The tv was generally set to channels he liked and a little persuasion got it changed when he it wasn’t. Comfy sofa with just the right amount of cushions. A human who gave wonderful scritches and fed him tasty treats.

Life was good.

Cat form was comfortable, it allowed him to be cosy in the smallest spaces. Meant what he wanted was brought to him, needing little effort. But cat form had its disadvantages and he was a long time between changes. His human predilections were starting to itch at him.

His human was having a lazy day, slothing about the house in loose comfy clothes. He was wearing those pants. Yes, those ones. The pants that hang loose, just caressing the plump promise of his arse offering a tantalising view.

He sat. He watched. He waited.

Their program finished and with a stretch and sigh his human rose to make the short walk to the dvd stand. ‘Find something better, shall we Puss?’

He waited. He watched. His human bent suggestively to remove the dvd left in the machine and it was too much. He was only Cat! He couldn’t be blamed! He plunged off the sofa, leapt across the room and lunged for that perfect arse. Claws digging into elastic waist band and teeth sinking through canvas into succulent skin.

The curses are best not repeated, but he made quick his exit. Top speed to the bedroom where he poofed to naked human, stretching out over the bed and eagerly awaiting his punishment.

Cat storage

Scott Grossman pointed out: If you're going to store your cats like that, you should fold them properly. That white cat is going to come out wrinkled.
